INVENTOR ASKS CARGO CARRIER SUBMARINES
Simon Lake Says Craft Would Eliminate Convoy Issue Washington—Simon Lake, veteran builder of undersea craft, believes American convoys of war supplies to Britain would constitute “an act of war” and he suggests cargo-carrying submarines as an alternative. “With such vessels,” he said, “we can carry supplies to any place in the world, through any blockade, without a convoy. With them we can supply England without committing any act of war.” Asserting that he has attempted unsuccessfully to obtain government consideration of his proposal, Lake said that his letter to President Roosevelt on the subject had been referred to the national defense commission which, in turn, referred it to the navy. That department, he added, already has turned down a similar suggestion on the grounds that construction of such ships was a commercial matter. Points to Controversy “There is a violent debate now in progress over the proposal that the navy should convoy merchant vessels carrying supplies to England,” he said. “The decision of this question may mean war or peace and any decision which involves war may cost the lives of thousands of American young men “Despite this fact I have yet to find any government agency which will give the slightest consideration to my proposal to build cargocarrying submarines. No one has yet denied their practibility. No one can deny it because Germany built and operated two such ships for a short time during the last war.” Lake, the inventor of the evenkeel submarine, is considered the father of the modern undersea boat. Hp launched his first submarine, ' the Argonaut, in 1897. This vessel was constructed of pine wood and lined with canvas. Its motive power was provided by an operator turning a hand crank. Inspired by Verne Lake’s Argonaut was the result of boyhoqd dream. As a youth of 14 he began toying with submersibles after reading Jules Verne’s “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.” His first practical experience with an undersea boat was witty a capsized rowboat and the result was failure. He was rescued from drowning by some fishermen. However, by the time he was 30, he was recognized for his ingenuity. Later he cooperated with this and other governments in developing the submarine. He served both France and Russia in a consulting capacity and helped them with their undersea fleets. o Sheriff’s Sale By virtue of a certified copy of a Judgment and Decree to me dUected from the Clerk’s office of the Gleik of the Delaware Circuit Court, in a cause wherein State of Indiana on the Kelation of Gus August Meyers, Auditor of Delaware County, Indiana, is Plamtiff, and Oran Richardson and Dolhe Richardson, his wife, James B.

A CARDEN PICNIC IS FUN • . . and can be easy to prepare and to serve / Says Dorothy Greig • _________________________ ' | 'HE urge to eat outdoors under the open sky is all part of X the good old summer time. But searching out the perfect picnic spot miles from home does loom up as something of a problem.
Casserole of Pork and Beans and Spiced Ham is an easy-to-prepare and most delicious dish for an outdoor meal.
So we’ll just picnic in bur own garden, thank you. It’s outdoors, as pleasant a place as ever we will see—and there’s no wrestling with traffic to get there. For a garden supper plan on simple food, but food full of flavor and substantial enough to satisfy keen appetites. Eating outdoors sharpens appetites, you know. For instance— GARDEN PICNIC SUPPER *Casserole of Pork and Beans with Spiced Ham * Cheese Tomato Sandwich Mixed Vegetable Salad Assorted Fresh Fruit Hot Coffee *Casserole of Pork and Beans and Spiced Ham 2 cans (16 ozs.) pork and beans 1 can (12 ozs.) canned spiced ham 6 tablespoons brown sugar Vz teaspoon ground cloves 2 teaspoons butter Empty 1 can of pork and beans Into a casserole. Slice the canned spiced ham in thin slices and arrange half of it on top of the beans.
Combine the sugar and ground cloves and sprinkle half of it over the ham. Make the second layer just like the first and dot on top with the butter. Bake in a moderately hot oven (375° F.) for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Serves 6-8. *Cheese Tomato Sandwich % cup condensed tomato soup % pound grated cheese - 1 egg 3 tablespoons mayonnaise Combine tomato soup and grated cheese and (heat in a double boiler until the cheese is just melted. Add the slightly beaten egg gradually and cook 3-4 minutes. Remove from fire and pour into shallow plate to cool. When cool add mayonnaise and mix well. Store in the refrigerator until firm. Makes 8-10 sandwiches. This filling keeps very well. To make sandwiches:—1. Spread each slice of bread with Cheese Tomato Spread and then put together. 2. Or spread each slice of bread with Cheese Tomato Spread and then put crisp bacon or slices of ham between sandwich slices.

VAST LAUNDRY TO SERVE FORT
Fort Bliss, Tex. — Everything about Uncle Sam’s expanding army is big—big guns, big planes, big forces—and the hugeness of it all extends even further as both soldiers and civilians at this, America’s largest cavalry post are see-
ing.
One phase of the expansion seldom considered by the layman but which the army deems important is it laundries, and nearing completion at Fort Bliss is the army’s biggest laundry. This new- $750,000 structure is the biggest laundry of any kind west of the Mississippi. Working three shifts the laundry can do the complete wash for 50,000 troops. It will open with about 250 civil service civilian employes, handling the laundry for the 2,0,000 troops now at Fort Bliss. It will turn out some 7,000 bundles daily at first, or about 140,000 separate items as trousers, handkerchiefs, shirts, saddle blankets,
etc.
About 18,000 pairs of sox will be washed daily. The building is 271 by 179 feet and contains 55,000 square feet of floor space. It has a “saw-tooth” roof facing the northwest to catch prevailing winds. Exhaust blowers will carry heat and steam from the inside, and officials say the well-ventilated structure will be comfortable for workers and that comparatively little manual labor is involved in its. operation since the machinery —all modern—is largely automatic.Many of the machines that will operate in the laundry are not in use even in civilian laundries yet. Included in these is a special machine which dries socks. It looks like a cluster of inverted iron feet. If there’s a hole in the sock nobody stops to darn it. It’s cheaper to discard, it officials explain. The laundry will serve soldiers at the rate of $1.50 a month. The laundry of officers and their families will be handled on a commercial basis.

Isaac Waltons Fish At Will In Louisiana New Orleans — Isaac Waltons, given a “go ahead” by a ruling of Attorney General Eugene Stanley, can fish when and where they want to until the next meeting of the state legislature. There’s no closed season on game fish anywhere in the state. Louisiana’s legislatures through the years have taken no restric-
tive’ action.
The fishermens’ good luck came about in this manner: The state conservation department recently reported that it was considering a closed season on bass for two months. The commission’s attorney, however, said that it was without authority to do this —that the closed season would have to be ordered by the police

To assist the government in filling the egg baskets of the nation and increase poultry meat production, the farmers of Indiana, rated among the nation’s most important producers of poultry products, today were offered with a list of helpful suggestions by the poultry department of Purdue university. Briefly those suggestions were: Immediately ordeu May and June chicks from the hatcheries, provide the best care and feed for the growing chicks, do not increase the amount or size of the poultry equipment unless' such changes were normally considered in the' farm business, provide the laying flock with the proper kinds of feeds, cull out the poor layers and fatten them for market, hold over another winter the old hens that proved to be good layers during the past year, feed the cockerels longer than usual to increase the amount of poultry meat produced, and purchase only well .bred chicks with blood lines traceable to good producing flocks. “This call for more poultry and eggs again emphasizes the necessity of a good sound poultry program in which well bred pullets of high livability from healthy supply flocks are essential,” a department statement said. “The chicks purchased should be produced in sanitary hatcheries from supply flocks of good breeding, especially for early maturity. “Sound poultry practices are still in order, particularly the culling of unthrifty birds and poor producers, the production of healthy, production-bred stock, the feeding of economically balanced rations, especially for the growing pullets and the laying flocks through the summer; adequate housing, efficient equipment, and effective sanitation. The problem confronting the farmer is that of making adjustments in his poultry program in the light of tested practices and the needs for national defense,” continued the re-
port.
The U. S. Department of Agriculture announcement was that) the government during the «ne.xt two years would purchase poultry products on the market to support a price of 22 cents a dozen for eggs and 15 cents a pound for poultry meat. o Two Charges Still Face Acquitted Man

He seems to be all dressed up for a party but perhaps he is going out for an afternoon stroll. Or possibly It is bedtime and he is taking his before-bed bite. Anyway, his expression proves that he is enjoying a "happy” dish — the kind of a dish that causes little boys and girls to smile as they eat. “Happy” dishes can be “good for you” dishes. The one pictured above furnishes milk in a delightful form. It requires no eggs, no haking'.and no boiling. It’s a healthful old standby with some frills and a new name, and is certainly entitled to a place at the top of the “happy dish” list. Try serving it to your children. Here is the simple recipe: Snow White with Raisin Dwarfs 1 package vanilla rennet powder 1 pint milk (ordinary or homogenized) ^ cup whipping cream Snow white angel food caJw Seeded raisin§ rolled in raspberry rennet powder or pink sugar Set out 5 individual dessert glasses. Warm milk slowly, stirring constantly. Test a drop on inside of wrist frequently. When COMFORTABLY WARM, (120° F.), not hot, remove at once from heat. Stir rennet powder into milk briskly until dissolved — not over one minute. Pour at once, while still liquid, into individual dessert glasses. Place a slice of snow white angel food cake in each dessert while still liquid. Do not move until firm — about 10 minutes. Chill in refrigerator. When ready to serve, top each dessert with whipped cream and seven seeded raisins rolled in raspberry rennet powder or pink sugar.

juries of the different parishes (counties). A number of parishes enacted Ideal ordinances, and in all cases the conservation department took over its share of all of the enforcement work. This, however, left a confusing patchwork of closed and open waters throughout the state on game fish. Commercial fishing licenses and regulations were not affected by any of the closed season regulations. Stanley, in his ruling, said that the police jury has no power fo enact any ordinary rules for fishing whether for game or commercial fish, within the parish, either by declaring a closed season or otherwise. Under the state constitution, he explained, the police juries could do only what the legislature had specifically said they could do— and no legislature had given them the right to close season on fish or game. It’s a fisherman’s heyday in this state until the summer of 1942, when the legislature meets again.
